Whipped Feta Dip is an easy but impressive appetizer that everyone will love! The whipped feta takes 20 minutes to make and has crumbled feta cheese, sour cream, olive oil, honey, lemon juice and zest, and salt, and is topped with a honey and red pepper flake drizzle. It's the perfect combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy!
I always love an easy and delicious appetizer recipe to have in my back pocket for impromptu patio happy hours or holiday gatherings. I have a few go-to recipes like my Roasted Tomatoes with Goat Cheese, Mexican Street Corn Dip, and this Whipped Feta with Hot Honey. This recipe comes together so quickly and I love the combination of tangy and lemon-y feta dip with the sweet and spicy hot honey!
As mentioned earlier, this is such an easy dip to make! To start, you'll need a food processor or a blender.
3. Make the hot honey. To make the hot honey, add the honey and red chili flakes to a small pot and let simmer for 3-4 minutes. This is just to infuse the heat from the chili flakes into the honey.
Serve. To serve, transfer the whipped feta dip into a bowl and then drizzle with the hot honey. Top with chopped chives and some freshly cracked pepper and serve!
I think feta really works best in this dip, however goat cheese and ricotta would be good substitutes.
Yes! The whipped feta and hot honey can both be prepped in advance. I would just assemble it with the hot honey on top immediately before serving.
This whipped feta dip recipe will last in the refrigerator for 5-7 days an airtight container. If possible, top with the hot honey mixture immediately before serving.
Yes, this is a cold appetizer.
This feta dip is delicious served with pita chips, toasted crostini, crackers, or fresh veggies. It also goes great on an appetizer spread with other appetizers like Cranberry Meatballs, Sausage Wontons, and Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites.
